Chapter II THE EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANT AND THE SURRENDER Title 1 SURRENDER FROM HUNGARY Section 3 (1) Under the European arrest warrant issued by the judicial authority of another Member State (hereinafter: issuing judicial authority) a person staying in the territory of the Republic of Hungary may be arrested and surrendered for the
2 purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution or executing a custodial sentence or detention order for acts punishable by the law of the issuing Member State by a custodial sentence or a detention order for a maximum period of at least 12 months or, where a sentence has been passed or a detention order has been made, for sentences of at least four months. (2) The requested person shall be surrendered under the European arrest warrant without verification of the double criminality of the act in respect of the categories of offences defined in Annex I of this Act. (3) In respect of the categories of offences defined in Annex I of this Act, if they are punishable in the issuing Member State by a custodial sentence or a detention order less than for a maximum period of at least three years, and as for the offences other than those covered by Annex I surrender may be subject to the condition that the acts for which the European arrest warrant has been issued constitute an offence under the law of the Republic of Hungary. (4) Where the offences relate to taxes or duties, customs and exchange, execution of the European arrest warrant shall not be refused on the grounds that the Hungarian law does not impose the same kind of tax of duty or does not contain the same type of rules as regards taxes, duties and customs and exchange regulations as the law of the issuing Member State. Section 4 The execution of the European arrest warrant shall be refused in the following cases: (a) if the person requested may not be held criminally responsible owing to his or her age, (Section 23 of the Criminal Code of Hungary); (b) if in one of the cases referred to in Section 3 (3) the act on which the European arrest warrant is based does not constitute an offence under the law of the Republic of Hungary; (c) if the criminal prosecution or punishment of the requested person is statute-barred according to Hungarian law; (d) where a final judgement has been passed against the requested person in a Member State for the act on which the European arrest warrant is based, which prevents the institution of criminal prosecution, or where there has been a sentence, the sentence has been served or is currently being served or may no longer be executed under the law of the sentencing Member State;
3 (e) if the requested person has been finally judged by a third State in respect of the same acts provided that, where there has been a sentence, the sentence has been served or is currently being served or may no longer be executed under the law of the sentencing country; (f) where the requested person is being prosecuted in the territory of the Republic of Hungary for the act on which the European arrest warrant is based; (g) where the Hungarian judicial authority (court or public prosecution) or investigating authority have decided either not to prosecute for the offence on which the European arrest warrant is based or to halt proceedings or the investigation; (h) if the offence on which the arrest warrant is based is covered by amnesty under the Hungarian law, and the Hungarian Criminal Code shall be applied for the offence (Sections 3 and 4 of the Criminal Code). Section 5 (1) If the European arrest warrant has been issued for the purposes of execution of a custodial sentence or detention order, where the requested person is a national and a resident of the Republic of Hungary, the executing judicial authority shall refuse to execute the European arrest warrant, and undertakes to execute the sentence or detention order in accordance with the Hungarian law (Section 6 of the Criminal Code, Section 579 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). (2) Where a person who is subject of a European arrest warrant for the purposes of prosecution is a national who is a resident of the Republic of Hungary, surrender may be subject to the condition that the issuing judicial authority gives an assurance deemed adequate that where a sentence has been passed or a detention order has been made, the person, at his request, after being heard, is returned to the territory of the Republic of Hungary in order to serve there the custodial sentence or detention order passed against him. Section 6 The executing judicial authority may refuse to execute the European arrest warrant where it relates to offences, which have been committed in whole or in part in the territory of the Republic of Hungary.

Section 8 (1) If two or more Member States have issued European arrest warrants for the same person, the decision on which of the European arrest warrant shall be executed, shall be taken by the executing judicial authority with due consideration of all the circumstances and especially the relative seriousness and place of the offences, the respective dates of the European arrest warrants and whether the warrant has been issued for the purposes of prosecution or for execution of a custodial sentence or detention order. (2) The executing judicial authority may seek the advice, if necessary, of European Judicial Co-operation Unit in the field of Justice (hereinafter: Eurojust) according to Article 29 of the Treaty of the European Union. (3) In the event of a conflict between the European arrest warrant and a request for extradition presented by a third country, the provisions of the Act on the International Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters shall be governing in respect of the relevant proceedings. (4) This Section shall be without prejudice to the obligations of the Republic of Hungary under the Statute of the International Criminal Court.

(2) The participation of the public prosecutor and the counsel for defence in the trial shall be mandatory.

Section 16 (1) The final decision on the execution of the European arrest warrant and surrender shall be taken, if the requested person (a) consents to his or her surrender, within a period of ten days after the consent has been given, (b) does not consent to his or her surrender, within a period of 60 days after the arrest of the person. (2) Where in specific cases the final decision on the execution of the European arrest warrant cannot be taken within the time limits laid down in paragraph (1), the Metropolitan Court shall via the Minister of Justice - immediately inform the issuing judicial authority thereof, giving reasons for the delay.

8 Section 18 (1) Where the requested person enjoys a privilege or immunity based on international law or on a public office fulfilled in the field of jurisdiction or execution in the territory of the Republic of Hungary, the time limits referred to in Section 16 shall not start running unless, and counting from the day when, the Metropolitan Court is informed of the fact that the privilege or immunity has been waived, and the prior assent to the institution of criminal prosecution has been given. (2) The Metropolitan Court shall immediately contact the authority or person having power to waive the privilege or immunity based on international law or on a public office fulfilled in the field of jurisdiction or execution, and requests to exercise that power forthwith. Where power to waive the privilege or immunity lies with an authority of another State or international organisation, it shall notify the issuing judicial authority via the Minister of Justice about this fact, in order to take the necessary measure. Section 19 If the Metropolitan Court finds the information communicated by the issuing Member State to be insufficient to allow it to decide on surrender, it may request via the Minister of Justice - that the necessary supplementary information, in particular with respect to Section 4, Section 5 (2), Section 7, and Section 25 (3), be furnished as a matter of urgency and may fix a time limit for the receipt thereof, taking into account the need to observe the time limits set in Section 16. Section 20 (1) The Interpol Hungarian National Bureau (hereinafter referred to as Interpol) at the National Police Headquarters shall, in co-operation with the police authorities, take measures for the surrender of the sentenced person, which shall take place as soon as possible on a date agreed between authorities concerned.

(3) If the surrender of the requested person within the period laid down in paragraph (2) is prevented by circumstances beyond control of any of the
9 Member States, the executing and issuing judicial authorities immediately contact each other and agree on a new surrender date. In that event, the surrender shall take place within 10 days of the new date thus agreed. (4) The surrender may exceptionally be temporarily postponed for serious humanitarian reasons, for example if there are substantial grounds for believing that it would manifestly endanger the requested person s life or health. The execution of the European arrest warrant shall take place as soon as these grounds have ceased to exist. The Metropolitan Court shall immediately inform via the Minister of Justice the issuing judicial authority, and agree on a new surrender date. In that event, the surrender shall take place within 10 days of the new date agreed. (5) Upon expiry of the time limits referred to in paragraphs (2) (4), if the person concerned is still held in custody, he shall be released. (6) The Minister of Justice shall transmit all information to the issuing judicial authority and the Interpol concerning the decision on the execution of the European arrest warrant and the surrender, and the duration of the detention of the requested person on the basis of the European arrest warrant at the time of surrender. Section 21 (1) When the requested person has not renounced entitlement to the speciality rule defined in Section 31, consent shall be given to the execution of the European arrest warrant issued after his or her surrender, when the offence for which it is requested is itself subject to surrender in accordance with the provisions of this Act. Consent may not be refused pursuant to Section 3. For the situation referred to in this paragraph, the issuing Member State must give the guarantees determined as conditions of the surrender, provided in Section 5 (2) and in Section 7. (2) The decision related to this shall be taken no later than 30 days after receipt of the request in Chamber. (3) Against the decision passed according to paragraph (2) there lies no appeal. (4) The proceedings as described in paragraph (1) shall be conducted in subsequent surrenders, if the requested person has not renounced the entitlement to the speciality rule, and another Member State has issued a European arrest
10 warrant for him/her after his or her surrender. Consent shall be adjudged in accordance with the provisions of this Act and the Conventions related. Section 22 (1) The Metropolitan Court may, after deciding to execute the arrest warrant, postpone the surrender of the requested person so that he or she may be prosecuted in the Republic of Hungary, or if he or she has already been sentenced, so that he or she may serve, in its territory a sentence passed for an act other than that referred to in the European arrest warrant. (2) The Metropolitan Court may decide upon postponing the surrender as defined in paragraph (1), after having passed a decision to execute the European arrest warrant. (3) Instead of postponing the surrender, the Metropolitan Court may temporarily surrender the requested person to the issuing Member State under conditions to be determined by a mutual agreement made between the executing and the issuing judicial authorities in writing. Section 23 If the person requested is under provisional arrest at the time when arrest for surrender is requested, or if such a person is serving a sentence of imprisonment or subject to other measures for deprivation of personal liberty, arrest for surrender shall be imposed from the point in time when the provisional arrest ends, or upon conclusion of the sentence or other measures for deprivation of personal liberty. Section 24 (1) At the request of the issuing judicial authority or ex officio, the Metropolitan Court shall take measures for the seizure and hand over of property which: (a) (b) may be required as evidence, or has been acquired by the requested person as a result, or related to the commission of the offence.

(4) The provisions of this Section shall not affect ownership rights and other rights in such property. Title 2 REQUESTS FOR SURRENDER Section 25 (1) If criminal proceedings must be conducted against an accused that is staying in a Member State of the European Union, the Court shall without delay issue an arrest warrant. If an accused is sentenced to imprisonment on basis of a final judgment, the judge responsible for penitentiary affairs shall issue an arrest warrant. (2) A European arrest warrant may be issued for acts punishable according to the Hungarian Criminal Code, by a custodial sentence or a detention order for a maximum period of at least 12 months.

In the proceedings the rules concerning Special Proceedings of the Code of Criminal Code shall be applied accordingly. (2) The portion of sentence described in paragraph (1) shall be determined by comparing the ratios of the maximum sentences, which can be imposed for the offences for which the consecutive sentences are imposed. (3) If the term of imprisonment, for which the judicial authority of the Member State grants surrender, was formulated as a total penalty, the sentence of imprisonment, which was stated in the underlying sentence and for which surrender was requested or granted, shall be executed. Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be applied mutatis mutandis in the event that consecutive sentences were imposed in the underlying sentence.
13 (4) If the surrender is requested or granted for the execution of the entire term of imprisonment imposed in the framework of total penalty, the term of imprisonment specified in the cumulative sentence shall be executed.
